I think a direct translation form C to Ada does not help to 'sell' Ada 
very well.

In the PDF the OP mentions the ADC is 10 bit, so one of advantages of 
Ada, for example, would have been a restricted type for that.

A minor but interesting snag is that the comments do not reflect 
accurately the working of code (C) and the present translation maintains 
it: "Returns: Temperature in �C x 10. INVALID_TEMPERATURE if out of range."

There is no attribution of a such constant INVALID_TEMPERATURE in the 
whole function body!
